Partial Clash Reunion
Former Clash guitarist Mick Jones reunited with his ex-drummer Topper Headon for the first time in 25 years at a Carbon/Silicon gig.
The reunion was the highlight of the first night of Carbon Casino - a six week residency by Jones' new band Carbon/Silicon at West London venue Inn On The Green.
Carbon/Silicon - the brainchild of Mick Jones and one-time Generation X bassist Tony James - ran through a selection of material from their new album 'The Last Post' including 'What The Fuck?' and 'Why Do Men Fight?'
Erstwhile drummer Topper Headon joined the band for Clash classics 'Train In Vain' and 'Should I Stay Or Should I Go?'
The gig was attended by a number of punk faces including Sex Pistols' bassist Glen Matlock and Viv Albertine of The Slits.
Carbon/Silicon are scheduled to play Inn On The Green every Friday for the next five weeks and will featutre a variety of guest artists. No advance tickets are on sale but are available on the door priced £10 on a first-come first-served basis.
